Bab 223: Chapter 227 » What Was Happening with Asura at This Time?
"Indra's curiosity stemmed from his excellent completion of the task in less than fifteen days, half of which was spent merely traveling. Yet the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't pass his position to him, preferring to wait for Asura's return before making his decision."
"This situation made him increasingly unhappy. After all, everyone considered him a supreme genius. The Sage's approach of treating Asura and Indra as equals seemed impossible, as he appeared to ignore the vast difference between his two sons."
"The Sage's judgment had long since become unbalanced, subtly favoring Asura's direction. His compassion led to this favoritism, which would eventually trigger significant consequences."
"While his brother still struggled with his task, Indra had taken on additional responsibilities in the village, conducting numerous powerful Ninjutsu experiments. His immense power naturally drew followers under his command."
"These followers ardently supported Indra as the Sage of Six Paths' successor. They questioned why the Sage hadn't announced his choice yet, and began drawing stark comparisons between Asura and him."
"Ultimately, most villagers chose to support Indra — after all, he had taught them to harness their chakra, creating this method himself. Their loyalty naturally gravitated toward him, a fact Indra clearly recognized."
"He naturally knew what he had done had brought many changes to the village. But he was very curious why his father hadn't announced him as his successor yet. And at this time, guess what was happening with Asura."
At this moment, Yusuke tilted his head slightly, looked at Madara and the others, and smiled.
"What was happening with Ashura at this time?"
Everyone looked at him with confused expressions.
"If the Sage of Six Paths hadn't been so indecisive and had simply passed the position to Indra, these problems would never have appeared later. The root cause was that the Sage of Six Paths was too weak-willed. Though he wanted to combine the powers of both his sons to manage the village together, he overlooked a crucial point — his heart was biased towards Asura."
"Consider this mission: regardless of how the brothers were progressing, Indra was the first to complete his tasks and return. He had fulfilled both assignments exactly as Hagoromo had instructed: cleaning up the Ten-Tails' remains and helping villagers solve their clean water source problems."
Yusuke continued speaking slowly.
"Yet because Asura hadn't returned, the Sage used this as an excuse to make Indra and others continue waiting. This became the primary reason why the brothers eventually became mortal enemies! Even after this conflict emerged, the Sage of Six Paths showed no remorse. He merely wondered which part of the process had gone wrong. Until his death, he never understood his mistake."
"The Sage's indifference toward Indra grew so cold that it created the perfect opportunity for Black Zetsu, who began seeking chances to approach Indra."
"While Indra performed his usual patrol duties around the village, his followers expressed their displeasure with the Sage's decision. They suggested that Indra should break away and become independent, assuring him that many would willingly leave the village to follow him. After all, it was Indra who had taught them to control their internal chakra and harness its power."
"Hearing his followers speak this way, Indra's heart grew uneasy. However, having not yet turned to darkness, he showed no signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, he spoke quietly, telling them to maintain a low profile. 'This is a crucial time.' He said, 'Don't cause any trouble in the village. It would jeopardize what comes next.'"

T/N: An important announcement! This book is on hiatus on Patreon!
Only available up to Chapter 234 because I can't understand a shit of what's happening anymore. It has become really difficult to translate this book because the author is simply banging their head on the keyboard and praying to some Chinese god to fix the words.
So when this book reaches Chapter 230 here on Webnovel, I will also announce a temporary hiatus.
I hope you enjoy and have a good read! (-‿◦)
